The scene with the bars was A+ in how it mimicked the prison interrogations.

Lmao the family that spys together stays together.😂

Prepare yourselves for more downvoting. This show just hit #1 on one of the charts😅

This doesn’t apply to all C-netizens, most just quietly play online like everybody else in the world. This is more about the toxic fan culture that seems to be an offshoot of idol culture. Tbh, most of the toxicity isn’t from the fans themselves. I believe most fans just want to like their faves. But there are these bloggers and marketing accounts that constantly whip up the environment in a negative direction, which causes this chaos of comparison and competition. Influenced by those elements, some fans bring that toxicity back to the stars.

Lmao, why does it feel like the casting requirements were probably:
-Must be a goofball 🤣

The relationship seems to be more parasocial with C-ent, and the situation with traffic stars seems to be making it worse. It’s not about scandals or spotlight per se but about creating the perfect image of a “female star” and/or giving the fans the ability to live vicariously through you by being someone they can brag about. For some fans this involves glamorous photoshoots, walking the red carpet, variety shows, and tons of marketing but she doesn’t really do much of this anymore. She’s gotten better with regular posting but sometimes she goes quiet when she’s filming. Or she goes quiet during her downtime for it to be revealed later that she was volunteering, participating in the arts, or learning a new skill to advance her acting career. To less parasocial fan environments this seems normal but in her case it’s lost her fans or gotten her scolded.
The only plus side of her getting ill this summer is that the quiet seems to have purged some of the more toxic voices but if this show keeps doing so well, I’m afraid it will bring some of them back.

Today’s episodes really deserved the ratings hike. I feel like this show is going to ruin me for other shows for a while. At the very least, outside of actors I follow, I think I’m done with idol dramas for now. The budgets are big but many don’t even have 1/10 of the sincerity of this show.
It’s not perfect but this show is so subtle and so brilliant with how it deals with characters. The little revelations of humanity or the struggles between good and evil are so touching. Especially when the show isn’t trying to whitewash the wrong doing.

The touch with destroying the painting…and the reaction 😩👌👌👌

My manz is so handsome in episode 18 it’s ridiculous😩 There’s a shot when the two of then stand together, it’s really art.

Dang,
Looks like the drawing by the senior official was a red herring😩Who is saying this show is mediocre? Never had a spy/police show clown me so much🤡

I think she did boxing as a hobby so she can swerve and do minor moves related to it. People keep scolding her for being private but it’s obvious whatever she does in her quiet time makes her acting better.

Imagine having all that negative energy. It’s so gross. Downrating this drama isn’t going to uplift their fave. It’s better to accumulate good virtue.

Just have to look at the charts to know👀

I’m pretty sure it’s getting downvoted on purpose. Just have to make sure the reviews are comprehensive.

It has to. The show keeps surprising me with either suspense or set up. I actually threw my phone at the end of episode 17. I was not expecting that.

Omg!! The way you have to pay attention in this show😩 I thought those characters were NPCs. Talk about Chekhovs guns…

I feel like the people complaining about PHM’s makeup must be complaining about the first episode and don’t understand it’s intentionally like that. PHM isn’t the type to be really good a makeup. After that it’s just the eyebrows but they’re necessary to give her that fierce edge otherwise she looks too soft and young. Honestly when the light hits right she looks like a kid. She’ll look like she’s playing pretend officer. And if the show used Xiaofeng’s delicate makeup for a rough and tumble officer, they’d be laughing stocks. Honestly, not everything has to be judged by idol drama standards. The setting and times needs to be considered.

Yeah, that’s why it’s so annoying. A lot of really good stuff gets buried here because people are annoyed at subtitles and downvote without seeing the bigger picture.

Yes, I hope it continues to do well and gets a score above 7, hopefully in the high 7s so the haters can’t bring it down too much. I’ve heard people are already trying to give 1 stars on Douban.

People keep saying this is a group drama to insult the leads but it’s really not an insult. It’s a compliment to the drama and the screenwriter. A good story can never rely on only one character and it’s only when all the main characters are 3D that the world starts to become real and the interactions interesting. Even minor characters are given some depth in this show. It’s great because whether they are good or bad, at least the viewers can see and understand their motivations, which makes it easier to empathise and therefore become more engage in the story.
